purchase ecu+

[lauj2gdsm]

Sup guys. I just got rid of my s-afc and purchase a ecu + unit for my 2g today. And i would just like to ask if any one is running one? and is it pretty simple to use? plus did they get any gain with ecu +? man oh man i cant wait to get it and boost up.

normal practice would be to research before buying, at least that's what makes sense to me.

but yea it's good and easy to use. i don't have it, but i've played with it before.

I guess this is sorta off topic, but it looks like you have a 95, so you have an eprom ecu. I was wondering why you didnt go with dsmlink as it is only $100 more?

unfortunatly my ecu wasnt eprom. so thats why i didnt get the dsm link and itll be extra for the e. ecu and ill have to shipp it to them to get it socket and the other thing is i dont have a laptop and i dont want to shop for one. there is just to much hassel with the dsm link. and i need fuel and timming control fast, so the ecu plus control timming and fuel plus plug and play. so thats why i got it. and one more thing dsm link is actually about $200 more + laptop + eprom. lets just say every thing will be atleast a grand.i will rather get something else with the other $500. oh yea look here is the comparisment and features http://ecuplus.com/compare.htm

If you shop around you can get dsmlink for under $520 but your right you then need the eprom & laptop (actually I believe they have software for the palm as well). I just purchased my dsmlink about a month ago and I looked at the ecu+ as well. From what I could tell it does look like a great upgrade over the safc/logger combo. The one thing I didnt like about it is you cant log fuel trims with it & you are not able to read/log knock with the current version. What made me change my mind to dsmlink was that the plug & play version of the ecu+ was $560 and is still a piggyback system. Plus I already had a laptop, so it made sense for me to spend about $200 more on the eprom ecu and have all the benefits/additional features (which are not listed in the comparison list on the ecu+ page) of dsmlink.

When I first looked into getting the ecu+ it looked to be a nice upgrade over the safc/logger, I played with the software & it seemed easy to use & they seem to have good supports on their forums. I think you should be happy with your purcahse

I'm gonna go this route as well. I don't have an EPROM ECU (if anyone has a dead one they want to part with, PM me), and I'm installing a computer in the car to replace my stereo and logger anyway. I figure ECU+ is my best bet.
